Ather 450X is one of the most popular performance electric scooters in India.
This extreme test for the durability of the Ather 450X has to be one of the most rugged experiments to measure the reliability of the electric scooter. Ather is a prominent player in the electric two-wheeler space in the country. The Bengaluru-based startup has been around for a while to become one of the biggest electric scooter manufacturers in India. However, I doubt if anyone has ever performed a more hardcore test of the EV like the one shown here. Let us see if it is able to survive this madness.
Ather 450X Abused in Extreme Test
This bizarre test comes to us courtesy of MR. INDIAN HACKER on YouTube. The immensely successful YouTuber often comes up with the most absurd ideas to capture the attention of the viewers. This time around, he has the Ather 450X. For the first test, they splash water on it from a height using a machine. Despite being drenched in water, the electric scooter is in working condition. Thereafter, the team takes it out on the sandy surface and throws it on the road. They keep doing this for a long time. In fact, the vlogger even mishandles it by punching the body, turning the handlebar vigorously and misusing all the components. In fact, they even test the suspension of the EV by jumping on it using multiple people.
To take things to the next level, they tow a Toyota Etios with it. Not only that, they even make the Etios hit the parked electric scooter with some force. By this time, only one side mirror of the electric scooter was broken and the EV was still functional. Finally, they bring in a crane to lift is 15 feet off the ground for a free fall. Shockingly, the Ather 450X is in decent condition and the YouTuber even rides it. In the end, they drop it from a height of 40 feet. The second mirror breaks and there are some dents on the body. However, the electric scooter still starts and the YouTuber is able to drive. All these tests might not be professional but they certainly test the limits of the scooter.
Our View
Honestly, I still can’t believe that the electric scooter was able to survive this unorthodox torture. I must admit this might be a more hardcore and demanding test of the Ather 450X than any other. The main reason for this is that there were no set standards. The YouTuber and his team did whatever came into their minds. Therefore, the real test of the EV occurred. If it was able to live through these barbaric activities, there aren’t all that many instances where it would falter. Still, I would like to advise our readers to never attempt such acts. Make sure to prioritize your safety over everything else.
